A 21-year-old man was jailed after allegedly leaving four-inch red marks on a woman’s neck during an altercation Wednesday evening.
Donovan Rex Wintermote of Oxford is facing a charge of battery following his arrest by Sumter County sheriff’s deputies.
Wintermote had been arguing with his girlfriend when a woman came to the door of a bedroom in a residence on County Road 466 in Oxford. The woman told Wintermote not to talk to the girlfriend in such a manner while they were in her home, according to an arrest report from the sheriff’s office.
Wintermote exited the bedroom, grabbed the woman by the neck and pushed her against a wall, the report indicated. When a deputy arrived, the deputy found four-inch red marks on the woman’s neck. She declined medical attention.
Wintermote was booked on $1,000 bond at the Sumter County Detention Center.
